[OFFICIAL] ♡ Lee Seung Gi ♥ Im Yoona ♡ YoonGi

[Guest iheartneiman]

I forgot to greet everyone! My apologies. Hi everyone!!!! Also I've been lurking in other threads and I noticed that there are bashers who refuse to keep an open mind about yoongi dating. It's ok though because haters can hate. They know what's up since yoona and seung gi is OFFICIAL!!! Lol. >< Seung I has mentioned liking yoona for years and so has yoona mentioning that she adores seung gi. I'm so glad that it happened to work out for them nicely. I hope they continue to be a couple and I support them whole heatedly. Also, have you guys noticed that seung gi kinda looks like Yeon Jung hoon who happens to be the ideal guy that yoona happens to admire! I think she mentioned it before. Gentle looking yet manly!

[revolu]

@LavelyShaiSame, it was so odd. I was able to look at the thread from firefox. You were also the post to push it to page 19 LOL
I'm glad more and more Airens and Sones are gathering together to support this couple. Rather heartwarming

[melleri]

Hmm, there's nothing on page 18 but images and a few links and some new people joining (welcome everyone btw!)  :-?
I'm glad there are so many people celebrating this couple and the thread is so active.  It's d-3 and I think it's finally fully sunk in for me.  >-
Watching NoF Seunggi was sooo casual about the girlfriend talk.  I remember back on 1n2d they would mention girlfriends (one time in particular with Sung Si-kyung  trying to find something out about him) and he made jokes about everything.   I do think he knew it would come out/wanted people to know.  He's not really hiding it.  )  Though I guess this is all in hindsight... 

[lovelyclover]

I have to post this, Seung Gi's "ex-wife" from 2008, totally adorable )

For Yoona fans want to know more about Seung Gi, watch this latest cut from NOF, he's a sweetie :x
Don't be worried about Hee Ae noona, she's married and had kids.

[melleri]

I love that clip you posted @lovelyclovery Seunggi is the sweetest person ever.  Never gets mad that he's getting eaten by an umbrella before and is worried about his noona so much.   Yoona is in good hands.  :x

[maxiane]

Wow this thread is so good. So we introduced our bias to another? What a great way to start. We realize most of us are only a sone and airens trying to blend into one group.

Me too, am a sone. Well im not a yoonaddict but i know yoona more than seunggi. I'll try watch the videos you share and read more about seunggi.

Thank you Airens for helping us, Sones :-)

[revolu]

I'm probably one of the few Airen and Sone LOL

[melleri]

In the newspaper

About introductions... I don't know much about Yoona.  Been watching some videos and downloaded some songs, reading what fans have said about her.. that's about it.  So anything you think Airens should watch/knew let us know.  )  I am watching her drama right now too.  Though now it makes me laugh considering what she actually went through in her real life with the paparazzi.  )

I wonder how crazy the press will go if/when they are actually pictured together.  Even in their dating pictures they aren't together.   )

[Guest secretssecrets]

This thread works really fast. I'm gone for the day and I have pages and pages to read lol.

I agree with star+roll, if there are things we need to know about Yoona, please do recommend some! Also... Airens have blogs that regularly updates news on Seung-gi. I was wondering if any Yoona fan can recommend me one that focuses more on Yoona rather than SNSD. I feel like I don't know her enough... really want to change that lol.

Really interesting about Yoona wearing the same clothes she wore to her nephew's party and her date with SG. Don't think he went with her to the party though because some of the pictures were made public and if there is a slight shadow of him in the background, all hell would've broken lose then and there ) Love how they can be casual and themselves around each other. SG in slippers and track pants, Yoona not too bothered with too much make-up or dressing up. To me, its kinda makes their date all the more personal )

[Guest fay09]

I wonder how crazy the press will go if/when they are actually pictured together.  Even in their dating pictures they aren't together.   )

Yes,,

I think about that too,

This all just the beginning...,but the reaction is sooooooo big...

Imagine if they appear together in public....

Wow.....

I can imagine , we all here will have a big party....

Waiting for the day... B-)

itemprop="name" class="ipsType_pagetitle" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"[NETIZ9N] Netizens speculate Lee Seunggi bought Yoona presents on ‘Noona over Flowers’

http://netiz9n.tumblr.com/post/72167683057/netizens-speculate-lee-seunggi-bought-yoona-presents-on

Summary: On the show “Noona Before Flowers”, Lee Seunggi was buying some presents. The producer asked him, “Is that for your girlfriend?” Lee Seunggi replied, “I would have to buy 10 presents.” Then, Lee Seunggi was shown waiting outside for Kim Jaok to finish shopping, to which the producer again asked, “If your girlfriend did this to you, what would you do?” Lee Seunggi responded, “I think I would wait for her too.”

'Noona before Flowers' producer refers to Lee Seunggi's girlfriend..'Yoona, are you watching?'

1, [+4954,-71] Daebak, the producer knew.

2. [+4460,-53] This was shot before the news broke out, the producer already knew.

3. [+4432,-80] When he said he needed to buy 10, he meant he needed to buy 1 for Yoona and then 1 for every other SNSD member. And another 1 to throw us off ㄷㄷ

4. [+2677,-114] It’s about time he’ll need to go to the army ㅠㅠ

5. [+2300,-129] Review of today: As a man, even I find Lee Seunggi to be cool and to have a lot of sense. Yoona, be nice to your oppa, Seunggi. Don’t let go of this man

6. [+727,-14] Who cares about that girlfriend part. My belly button was about to fall off from laughing so much at the cannibal umbrella ㅋㅋㅋ
(TN: I guess this is from the episode?)

7. [+713,-20] 10 presents = Mom + SNSD

8. [+691,-20] Ah, the producer knew ㅋㅋㅌ But the fact that she kept the secret, that’s so loyal

9. [+688,-30] Why does Lee Seunggi look even cooler after admitting his relationship..ㅠㅠ Before, he seemed like a cute little brother, now he seems like a real man

10. [+646,-21] The entertainment folk probably all know who is dating who. We’re the only ones left out ㅋㅋ

'Noona before Flowers' Lee Seunggi replies “I'd have to buy 10” in response to buying his girlfriend a present

1. [+843,-81] SNSD 9 + mom 1 = 10 ㄷㄷㄷ 

2. [+542,-81] His mom and SNSD’s 9 members

3. [+232,-55] Ugh… journalists write about every thing… Today Lee Seunggi was so cute…Your charms are exploding us noonas

I think they are the Nation's Couple... )

[ChunSungIm]

i wonder how they feel right now,the article came out about them,they dont use the lee seung gi actor,or snsd yoona
but yoona bf or lee seung gi girl (even from recent article like her drama prime minister and i)
well i know this is the consecuence of the big star dating,media used to sell their name/nick
but as long they didnt get affected by that its okay
fighting yoongi couple

[revolu]

@geumjandi To be fair none of the articles concern their actual activity, and there really isn't a need to address seung gi by a formal title for Noona over flowers as it's a variety-documentary

We'll see what articles are like when prime minister and I broadcasts next week

[complete]

people in general may only refer Yoona to some goddess or girl next door image which she has portrayed as SNSD's visual. I used to think that too, just merely "wow Yoona was so pretty". But as time goes by, as a Sone in general I must give this girl my full respect. She's caring, sweet, cheerful and all but the best thing is she knows her job, she understands what she has to do for the sake of the group and she gives her all to fulfill them despite the burden. It's always SNSD Yoona, not just Im Yoona
Yoona's the endorser of Innisfree. One time she did a promotion event for the brand. According to the staff, after introducing herself and saying a few words, she got off the stage and suddenly ran back to the stage. People there were surprised but it turned out that she forgot to mention SNSD name so she got hurriedly got back and said things like "Hello I'm SNSD Yoona. Pleas give us a lot of love". I don't remember exactly but basically that is. Everybody there cheered her for that "Yoona hwaiting SNSD hwaiting".   
another time in 2008 which can be considered as the darkest time for SNSD, Yoona won a KBS award but she was so nervous that she forgot to mention her members. She felt guilty to the other members and even cried because of that. You can read the story here http://forums.soompi.com/discussion/270248/snsd-yoona-s-tears-i-m-sorry-to-my-group-members-fans-deeply-moved
There's one post about Yoona in soshified that I think was pretty famous among SNSD & Yoona fans back in the days. I can say this is how most of us fans feel but can't put in words exactly but this delivers the best. If you guys Airens have time, please read it to understand our Yoona

Some people might wonder why I’m suddenly barging in this Yooniverse when I, for a fact, have been literally “living” in gate 24 since the first time I’ve been here. That, I will try to answer and I hope that with it, I’d be able to bring light to what most people have always wondered of. I am currently typing this as I think about it so if there are cases of wrong grammar/syntax blah blah, please feel free to point it out. Much has been said about Yoona being the center of SNSD. A lot of people have shared their views and opinions that sometimes it makes the entire topic itself redundant. But then again, if we look beyond the surface, the issue of Yoong being the center of SNSD covers much depth that I believe we can talk about it forever but we will never be able to fathom its real impact on Yoona and the people surrounding her. I will try to do away with enumerating all the pros and cons of her being the face since I believe Yoonadicts basically have a clear idea of what it feels. Instead, I will give a humble attempt to scratch beyond the surface of the usual good and bad things about it. To be blunt, I’d say, Yoona has the heaviest job among all So Nyu Shi Dae members. True, Taeyeon is the leader and a leader has to deal with managing the members. I salute Taengoo for being able to do that. Even if she claims that the members do not really need her watching over them since they are responsible enough, I still believe that she plays a pivotal role of being the backbone of the group. The last remaining strand of the whole SNSD tapestry. Taeyeon, as the leader, has to be consistently strong; for as a leader, everything about SNSD will reflect on her. In as much as our kid leader has this heavy responsibility, I think every SONE or any SNSD-member fan should at least give due respect to Yoona for the responsibility that she is holding. For when Kim Taeyeon carries the blame for something SNSD as a group did, Im Yoona’s one slight mistake affects the entire group in itself. You see, as the face of SNSD, Yoona stands on the front line. The nine girls are there; the camera follows. But who’s on the center? It’s Yoona. They attend some variety show; three or four members are present. Who ends up having more time when the show airs? It’s Yoong. Because of this, people have this tendency to blame the girl for what is happening. But what they fail to see is that this is what’s Yoona’s job is for. This is her responsibility. This is HER ROLE. And in as much as we love it, hate it, or what, IT WILL NOT CHANGE. Nevertheless, I pose these questions. Had it ever occur to such people how this kind of treatment actually affects Yoona? Had they ever wondered how she might feel with the camera constantly shoved on her face? Had it ever cross their mind that this is the heaviest responsibility to be ever given to a person? Yoona, being the face, the center, the one who the world revolves around to, brings the name SNSD. One wrong move for her and the entire group gets the blame. You see how the mechanics work? For the leader, when the group, holistically, does something negative, she has to live up with being called a bad leader unless she does something right. But for Yoona, she MUST always STRIVE to be flawless or else the entire group will suffer for her mistakes. It took me quite a long time to understand this but to stress my point, I will use an analogy here. Have you observed why much respect is given to the men who stand in the frontline during the time for battle? Because they are the one who gets the lashes first. They have to be brave AND they have to be strong. And this is where my respect for Yoona comes in. As part of her job, she has to constantly check herself. She has to be forever flawless. She has to be perfect. But you know what makes Yoona so special? She does not care about being perfect AT ALL. In television shows, awards shows, or any media conferences, she’s always this quiet lady with that pretty smile on her face no matter how hungry, tired, or pissed off she is. She maintains the innocent and angelic image that she is supposed to have. But when the camera for formal events stop rolling, we get to see the Yoona that is special to all of us. The Im Yoona with her alligator mouth, Ahn Youngmi gags, endless pranks, and insatiable appetite. We see the real Yoona. And boy is that Yoona far from perfect! But have you observed how, in those moments when she’s around her members, when she’s laughing out loud like there’s no tomorrow, when she shoves food into her mouth, those are the moments when she is happiest? Those moments, when she is as flawed as your six-year old next door neighbor with ice cream stains on her shirt and muddy prints on her shoes, those are the times that she shines the most. That’s the time that she becomes perfect. I believe Yoona deserves every respect for being able to hold that choding in her and be that elegant, sweet girl when the camera turns her way. She deserves every amount of respect for being able to stand strong, in having that responsibility despite being one of the maknaes of the group. She deserves the respect for in every blow that is targeted for the group, she has to receive it first. Let’s talk about the issue of Yoong being “your every oppa’s ideal girl”. At first, I was a bit puzzled on why idols choose her as their Ideal Girl. Yes, Yoong is pretty and nice and witty but with all the female groups out there, there’s gotta be one person they’d like apart from her, right? It was a mystery, actually. But in that SGB episode when Yuri said that even if Yoona gets picked as ideal girl, no idol has actually tried to pursue her or even show signs of actually liking her, I was shocked. The realization suddenly dawned on me and I feel like giving the poor girl a hug. It’s as if Yoona is the default Ideal Girl. And you know what that implies? She’s the girl most fitting for an ideal girl role that even if it’s downright ridiculous how almost the entire male population share similar taste, people won’t notice it. She is the girl you should choose because she has this long list of haters from time immemorial and it will not hurt if she gets another hundred on that list. Choose her because it is the safest most common answer and she is the perfect scapegoat so that the media will stop bothering you for an ideal girl. Choose her because it’s her job to be chosen. Isn’t that sad? And come to think of it, no other idol has suffered as much for being center as her. Super Junior does not have ‘specific’ center. SHINEE and f(x) does not have one. TVXQ has Jaejoong but it’s unofficial. I do not know about other groups but if you look at it, for every ten people who’ll hear of SNSD for the first time in their lives, there’d be one or two who’d go “WHY IS THAT GIRL ALWAYS IN THE CENTER?” and of course, her anti list grows longer. I believe this is quite a sensitive topic but since we’ve already touched on that, let’s talk about antifans. Who do you think gets the largest amount of anti-fans in SNSD? This may be debatable in regards to Fany, Taeng, Sica, and Yoong but have you observed how out of all four, Yoong gets hated only for the stupid fact that she sits at the center of SNSD? (To give light to new fans, Fany/Taeng got their antis mostly from their so-called “rude” moments and Sica got hers for being an “Ice Princess”) It’s like an unspoken rule in this dirty kpop-world; it is sad, yes. But it happens. People react negatively as if the girl specifically asked to be there on the first place. I know it kinda gets tiring when Yoong gets all the attention while our favorite members remain on the sides, but honestly, that’s not even a logical reason to hate her. Sure, sure, the reason of “cameras are the ones following her” is deemed cliché but I will repeat that again for this article. However, apart from that, y’know why Yoona still demands your respect? For even if the cameras are following her, you’ll never see her stop just to face the camera alone; she’ll always be on the run following the girls, or if not, surrounded by them. Do you know about that certain awards show wherein the SuJu boys are constantly pulling her into the middle for the photo-ops but she keeps coming back to where the other members are standing? Then when they pulled her for the nth time and she can’t return on time to the girls as the cameras started flashing, she pulled Seobaby with her? How about the time when she said that she wishes other members will be given the chance to shine on variety shows, particularly Hyo? Remember when she gushed about how funny Kim Choding really is and that PDs should really give her a chance? I’m sure we are all familiar of the story on how actress Yoong got an award and after thanking the people for supporting her; she added “please support SoNyuhShiDae too”. Isn’t it funny how she can easily make it big on her own but she always strings that name So Nyuh Shi Dae to her name? Always introducing herself as SNSD’s Yoona and never Im Yoona? That’s an example of how she remains rooted to the earth and I guess that says a lot about her and how she deals with her popularity. Yoona knows that even if Sooyoung is the spokesperson of SNSD whose ability to string words will always amaze people, one statement from her is enough to cause a headline. And because of this, she uses it not to her advantage, but for the entire group itself. Never the one who hogs the spotlight. And it really hurts that she is made to look that way. I salute Yoona for being strong. Her physical strength has always been a hot topic but I rarely see people discuss about the strong moral fiber this girl has. Though still considered a rumor since Yoong never really talked about this, I think it’s an open secret between Yoonaddicts how Yoong’s mom left her when she was young. There might have been a divorce or some misunderstanding that falls along that line between her parents but at the end of the day, the sparkling truth remains, Im Yoona does not have a mother. This is the safest assumption that we can have. And in speaking of that, I mean the existence of a motherly figure behind her all through these years. In the sense that I felt heartbroken upon learning that Sooyoung’s mother never really wanted her as a daughter for she wants a son, the pain is deeper when we talk about Yoona who never really had the chance to feel the love of a mother at all. At least Sooyoung’s mom has accepted the fact of having her as a daughter and went on showering her all the love in the world. In Yoong’s case, it’s different. She is not the type to talk about familial relations but we have heard about her father and sister, but as for her mother, there’s none. Reminds me during Sukira back in 2009 when Leeteuk asked them about their song Dear Mom, the girls were all crying and talking about their moms but Yoona kept her silence. I guess the others know about it since they never pushed the topic on her but it makes me wonder what she actually felt when they were singing the song. Was she really indifferent? For all the years growing up without one that she doesn’t feel any pain at all when talked about matters like this. Or was she a little bit envious? Of how the girls all have their loving parents with them and that Fany, although orphaned with her mother, had felt what it is like to have one. Was she sad? That even if her mother is still alive, it’s as good as if she has died because they never even talked with one another? Things like that. And in a highly traditional country like Korea, family matters are very important. Some parents even go to the point of researching a future in-law’s family tree to make sure that their offspring is being given a worthy spouse. Family is a very important factor which is why being an orphan or coming from a broken family is quite an issue that people can even use it against you. It might be the reason why Yoona, in as much as possible, tries to live up in debunking the stereotype of “a bad child because she does not have a parent to guide her”. It makes perfect sense how, when asked what she wants to do most after SNSD, she said that she wants to be a good wife and perfect mother. Probably to make up for all the things that she has never experienced. This kind of attitude, the kind which instead of repeating history, chooses the option of change and making it a point to make sure that her child will never experience the suffering that she has gone through, is remarkable. I believe that she makes up the absence of her mother to the presence of the girls around her. And this is the reason why I believe that even if all girls pitch on the “nothing without nine” slogan, Yoona will always be the one who hopes till end that it will forever remain that way. Even if she has her separate activities, she will always prefer going back to the dorm and see her eight sisters slash mothers waiting for her. Even when So Nyuh Shi Dae disappears, her friendship with Kim Taeyeon, Jung Sooyeon, Lee Sunkyu, Hwang Miyoung, Kim Hyoyeon, Kwon Yuri, Choi Sooyoung, and Seo Joohyun will forever remain that way. Remember when her skirt-lifting controversy with Tiffany came up? She mentioned being scared of cameras for a while. It’s understandable; with the press trying to follow her every move. Some fans still can’t believe that she actually had that camera-phobia with her being constantly surrounded by them. But can’t you see? That’s where her courage shows. That even if she actually had to worry about it, she still faced the world with that smile. The thing that actually amused me is how Yoona has had countless of controversies before but she notes that as the one she was scarred the most. It distressed her much because the controversy went to the extent of affecting her relationship with Tiffany. Notice how she can take all the negative things said about her but she breaks down when it’s between her and a member? And in connection with the Tiffany incident, it is such a huge responsibility to keep up with the role indicated for her while maintaining that relationship with her members. To be the center of a nine-member group, there has got to be some ill feelings cultivated from the lesser acknowledged members, right? Wrong. For in as much as outsiders try to claim that they do understand the SoShi bond, that said camaraderie that the girls share is something that we can never fully comprehend no matter how we try to. That the closest thing we can make out of why there is no jealousy between the members and Yoona is because the girls are mature individuals and that Yoona, herself, is never the type of person who will harbor negative feelings from other people towards herself. Yoona does not appear as a person who is thirsty for fame. As I look at it, she is this normal girl who just happened to have the dream of being on a stage. She worked hard for that dream and that is where she is now. The cherry on top being her role as the center. However, what most people fail to see is that being center, she gets to be the official ‘face’; but with this, it also means, she has to hold back in her singing and dancing. The ‘center’ role in itself is her responsibility, thus she is given lesser opportunities to show why she is standing at that stage. Giving her fewer opportunities to actually prove herself worthy of that ‘center’ role. But instead of giving up, you see this girl doing her best in improving. She gets one line or two but she claims it as her own. She makes the most out of it, EVERY SINGLE TIME. She is a great dancer but people often forget that; which is why when she’s on stage, she burns it up and gives it her best shot. She may not be SNSD’s best singer or dancer but when she gets the chance to prove herself, may it be modeling or acting, she grabs it. And for this attitude, PEOPLE LOVE HER. This may come off as a shock to you but most of Yoona’s antifans are actually non-Koreans (ie international fans). We see headlines about the girl leading a poll and being friends with Goo Hye Sun, Go Ara, and Lee Jongseok among others and some still ask why it’s her all over again. Simple. Because Korea loves this girl. And I believe the love that she receives will always be lacking for all the hate she gets. Do you know about the MILK Club? It is a pseudo-organization which stands for Made In Lovely Kin. President, SJ’s Leeteuk. Manager, SNSD Taeyeon. It sounds cool right? Like an exclusive club everyone should be dying to affiliate to. Unfortunately, Milk Club isn’t as nice as how its name sounds. Milk Club is actually a club specifically created for the “gathering of depressed souls” and that the purpose of the club is for idols to interact with each other and provide mutual support to overcome moments of depression or feelings of loneliness and pain. The Milk Club’s three main officers are the main founders itself. Did I say three? Ah yes, I forgot to mention. Yoona holds the vice-president position in that club. It is worrisome to know about a person joining such club; but to be one of the makers of the group itself? That’s downright disturbing. I guess this simply gives us an idea of all the suffering that this girl hides beneath that sweet facade. A sneak peek to the real world that Im Yoona is actually living in. Because Im Yoona is not all innocent smiles and pretty doe eyes. She is just made to appear that way. Because it’s all just part and parcel of her role as a center. Before, when people say that Yoona is talentless and useless and that she does not deserve to be the center of SNSD, I have this half-agreeing/half-disagreeing part in me. I guess it’s because I’ve been part of those people who gets blinded by the spotlight pointed at her. The brightness affects my sense of vision that I look at the dimmer part of the stage to get away from it. However, in doing so, I fail to realize that if a mere audience like me finds it blinding to look at such brightness, how much more does it feel for the person to whom that light is pointing to? Im Yoona is a wonderful person. A fragile being. An innocent child. And this is why the girls are very protective of her. And I leave with the message that if our beloved favorites could get along with the idea of this Im Choding being the center, why can’t we? They say her being a center is a blessing and a curse. I say it’s more of a curse that which she is carrying. But seeing her carry it courageously as if it’s some kind of blessing is something that is worth every respect, love, and admiration there is in this Yooniverse. credit: Bam The Great @soshified.com
